Season 4 Podcast 77, “The Language of Liberty Pt I.”
Once upon a time we liked terms such as God, flag, country, mother, father, apple pie, patriotism, American, freedom, liberty, independence. Of course, in our umbrageous age we have seen the assault on God, flag, and country. A Stanford University document said we shouldn’t use the term American because somehow those on our southern borders might find it offensive. The Publishers of children’s author Roald Dahl removed the words mother and father from his children’s books for fear of offending somebody. Personal pronouns are commonly being banned to avoid offence.
But there is another assault on language that is as strange as any of the above. In “The Language of Liberty Pt I.” I am going to analyze the democratic argument against the Republican Bill entitled “The Parents Bill of Rights Act.” In “The Language of Liberty Pt II.” I am going to analyze the House Hearing before the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, House of Representative 117 Congress, First Session Sep 29, 2021. It illustrates the beginning of the degradation of the language of liberty.
This article is more about the abuse of language than the use of language by our Congress. It is as astonishing as it is appalling that persons in such high office in our nation do not display even a shred of critical thinking in their attempt to solve problems facing our nation. They do not use language to think, to analyze, to synthesize or to solve problems. They use language like rabid mobs use tanks and cannon and rockets and bullets to decimate their enemies. They charge their opponents for hate speeches while they themselves are foaming at the mouth.
In this podcast I shall illustrate my point with the argument of the left against the Republican supported bill called “The Parents Bill of Rights Act.” The act itself should not have even been necessary. The fact that it was necessary illustrates how far the left has destroyed the Bill of Rights.
The act is rather straight forward. As described on PBS News Hour
“The bill would require schools to publish course studies and a list of books kept in libraries, as well as affirm parents’ ability to meet with educators, speak at school board meetings and examine school budgets.”
We have all watched the news. Parents have expressed concern over the Woke agenda in school board meetings. Suddenly concerned parents found themselves classified as white domestic terrorists by the US Department of Justice for speaking out against exposing elementary students to pornography. They also object to their children having their heads filled with transgender idealism or by having their daughters referred to as he or their sons referred to as she. They objected to teachers even in the third grade who glorified the virtues of transgenderism without informing the parents.
For their concerns anyone who spoke out against the agenda of the left were called domestic terrorists, or white supremacists because they opposed the agenda of the left. Even the President said that white domestic terrorists pose a greater threat to our government than foreign terrorists which includes those who murdered thousands of innocent people during the 9/11 attack.
You may listen to the Congressional hearings which include the full text as I did. It is rather tedious as one would expect, but it is not without its moments. If the subject were not so serious, one would find some of the comments so hyperbolic and outrageously absurd that one would hardly be able to stop laughing.
